Cryo-EM structure of type 1 IP3R channel in a lipid bilayer
Abstract
3D structure of full-length rat type 1 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor reconstituted in lipid nanodisc is determined using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy. The study suggests conserved locations of protein-bound lipids among structurally diverse, homo-tetrameric ion channels.
